Pashinyan: Parliamentary election results not to be challenged in Armenia for first time
For the first time the results of parliamentary elections will not be disputed in the Constitutional Court, Acting Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said in a post on Facebook.
“I would like to state the following. The outcomes of parliamentary elections will not be challenged in the Constitutional Court for the first time.
The starting point is 1996 when the Constitutional Court was established. After that, the results of all the elections to the National Assembly were disputed in the Constitutional Court. The 2018 snap parliamentary elections are the only exception,” he wrote.
The early parliamentary elections held in Armenia on December 9 saw Pashinyan’s My Step bloc win a landslide victory with 70.44% of the vote. The Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) and Bright Armenia party were also elected to the parliament with 8.27% and 6.37% of the vote, respectively.
